Re: [Az-Geocaching] Anyone using Latitude yet?

It's been awhile since I've used the Palm version of CacheMate, but it
doesn't look to have changed much, while the WM version has had several
recent enhancements. Some of the features in the WM version include:

-Import GPX/LOC files directly without having to convert them to PDB format
on a PC (great for PQ updates)
-Log templates
-Plugins to export waypoints to variety of formats, including CSV, LOC,
Magellan SD File, MS Pocket Streets, PocketMap Navigator and KML (works
great with Google Maps for Mobile!)
-Plugins to calculate distance, do projections and convert to other coord
formats
-Support for child waypoints
-SpoilerSync integration
-Support for voice notes
-Integrated TB database that allows you to retrieve, discover and drop
trackables directly from the cache record, with all data for the TB filled
in except for the tracking number
-TB actions entered automatically in cache log entry
-TB nag alert
-Found log counter
-HTML logs/notes export
-Support for Corrected Coords (great for puzzles/multi's)
-GPS support with new center point acquisition, waypoint navigation and gps
status plugin

Probably left off others I can't think of off the top of my head, but this
gives you a good idea. My only real gripe with the current version is that
it's not very finger-friendly. It's better than it used to be, thanks to
the author making improvements based on our requests in the forums for
better D-pad support, but the WM5 soft keys are missing as are options for
larger buttons, etc.
